Desmond Barr's Story
Dessmond Barr, 50, had just dropped his wife off at work one day, when suddenly another vehicle struck his car. Mr. Barr immediately felt severe pain in his right arm. He was transported by ambulance to a nearby Level I Trauma Center because there was concern he had a head injury as well.

Ehlers Danlos Syndrome - Beating the Odds Once Again with a Surgeon’s Expertise.
